Covid-19

A few days ago, a visually impaired athlete took her smartphone and streamed an audio described workout on Facebook. The class was followed by lots of other visually impaired people wanting to exercise during lockdown.

Today is Micro Volunteering Day which is on the 15th April each year.
I have to confess that I’ve never been a fan of the original thinking of micro volunteering, however, in the current circumstances I’ve changed my mind!

As Covid-19 affects our communities and key aspects of everyday life, it raises questions for how we best manage our volunteers. How can we in our organisations and groups, respond effectively to this challenging situation?

The Covid-19 epidemic has become much more real for many of us this week following the latest set of restrictions around our daily lives and the prospect of many of our loved ones either being infected and/or forced to isolate for weeks and months.
